About me Recently, a motivational speaker/trainer interviewed me for her internet radio show. I am not a polished media speaker by any means and I was very nervous, but the skeleton of the book I am writing in cooperation with my family is outlined in the show, click here
Why I use Clipmarks I love my stolen minutes looking through clips. At first, Clipmarks was just a tool to collect information for research on writing my book. But, over time, I have grown to appreciate the connection with many other Clippers. I wish I were not chronically busy with my job so I could interact more. Along with my sister and my mother, we are writing a book about the strong connection between poverty and mental illness.

POPS Socialized Medicine as the Bogey Man

by dmegivern 2-25-2008

Anti social does not mean that you do not like to be around people. It means that you enjoy violating the rights of others. Health care should be a right, and I would prefer if it were pro-social medicine.
